MOORS Murders viewers were left feeling "disgusted" as new technology brought evil Ian Brady and Myra Hindley back from the dead.

The Channel 4 documentary gave viewers an in-depth view of the murders which took place near Manchester between 1963 and 1965.

The couple's first killing was in July 1963 when they slaughtered 16-year-old Pauline Reade . 

In the documentary, journalist Clive Entwistle described how police arrested Hindley after discovering a suitcase that contained a tape recording of a child being tortured with her voice in the background. 

The documentary also used CGI technology to make the couple's notorious mugshots blink and move - which many viewers found disturbing. 

Alongside an emoji of an angry face, one person penned: "The CGI used to make Ian Brady and Myra Hindley's eyes move is utterly chilling."

Echoing their comments, someone else said: "Those animated mug shots with the blinking eyes are freaky."

While a third added: "I actually hate those moving mugshots. Scum of the earth - it's making my blood boil."

Segments from Hindley's unpublished diaries were read out in the documentary, which told a chilling tale of the pair's blood-thirsty ways.

Hindley was hired as Brady's secretary at Milward's Merchandise when she was 18 - and she soon fell for him.

She documented the first time they met in one entry, where she wrote: "Ian wore a black shirt and looked smashing, I took him home and he was so gentle."

But in a separate entry, she wrote: "He's a crude, uncouth pig. He's cruel and selfish and I love him."

Moor Murders is available to watch on All 4 now.
